Seriously, can you imagine this in any other sport?


Let's see. David Moyes phones the FA two weeks before the FA Cup Final:

"Phil Jagielka's still injured and won't be ready for the final on May 30th. He's an international player and we really need him. Can we put the game back a few weeks?"


Feel free to add your own versions of the FA's response.

Clegg, your the one with a venue and equipment Wink


Yes this is true .. but i`m NOT running this event Scott is - And if he can`t get to a computer and answer a couple of questions one afternoon - Then i`m OUT thats for sure "NOT THAT I`LL BE MISSED" Unhappy

People jump and shout and get upset but he may have the best excuse in memory ..

Or he may just want his buddys to win - and if thats the case then it`s best if no-one else turns up they both weigh 110kg on the day and fight it out in front of each other ....

Scott said John and Paul had done heavyweight comps in the last month so were quite heavy/big!!!



sounds to me he wants those two competing no matter what so to 'make sure the best are competing'?

not much of a strongman specticle to watch just two guys go at it if everybody else quite rightly says f**k off?

goalposts shouldnt be moved, strongman is mad as cheese as everybody knows and understands but to make changes to favour others? that seems bang out of order to me, to not post on here to apologise or explain the changes is even more bang out of order. stinks..

Changing the date cause a few guys are ill is bulls**t, fair enough if there are other, decent, reasons, but they aren't!

Being ill and s**t is just luck, in that extra 2 weeks, some other people might get ill, so it doesn't make sense - waiting for every single competitor to be 100% would take f**king years!

Load of s**t tbh, there are people who would have competed with one leg and I'm sure there have been.

Also, mate, I'm sure it was posted earlier that Scott said to ring him if this was the case. I certainly would do that.

I dont really mind the date change as i will compete no matter what!!! i hope paul and john are also there to compete as i want to try and beat the best there is. I want the best 105s there on the day so when we compete there is no question over who is the best!!!! Got to say it is very short notice and i no a lot of my family and friends have had to re-book rooms at a price.

I don't do comps for the frills.

If Scott cannot put it on on the day stated and there are suitable alternative venues/people willing to put it on then its a no brainer imo.

Hanging on to the rains of the comp for the later date merely deepens my concerns to an ulterior motive.

seriously CARL i know you find this s**t funny mate but its NOT its unfair - simple as that ....

Because a lot of people have trained hard, made all kinds of sacrifices, and have family and friends who have done the same, and you're making light of it for a giggle. Take it from one of the biggest, near to the knuckle pisstakers there is on here, you're out of order on this one mate. You're already in a hole. Stop digging.

i have a feeling scott doesnt realise what kind of pain, anguish, financial loss, trouble to all the supporters and families, f**king with competetors minds and training cycles, loss of legitimacy, ridiculing the whole sport and so on and so on this decision has caused. I hope it is communicated to him clearly and that he would take a glance at the thread here.

Just trawled through all of this. What a mess. I feel sorry for the guys who put in the training and now can't compete.
